For me Praise is the Joyful sound we make to the Lord.  Our way of saying, "Thank You Father, Praise Your Name Lord Jesus!"  To open ourselves up to the Spirit, and allow Praise to come forth.  Worship comes forth as we enter the Presence of the Lord.  Of ourselves we are able to do little.  Our spirit however knows and understands far more.  When the time comes and we are in every way before God, we will be Humbled before Him.  When the time comes and we are living in that Wonderful Place, Praise and Worship will come forth as natural behavior.  To be Thankful, to show Honor and Humility to Our Lord, these things are apart of how we really are in the Lord.  We all show them in different ways.  As we all are different.  God has so many, many facets.  To our thinking, infinite.  When we are united to Him in every way, we will all join together and sing all the different notes of who we are.  What a sound that will be!!

Nice question hmm here are my thoughts

• To me Worship is nothing but devotion it’s a life style and
• Praise is when we express thanks to God

 

Praise is just a part of Worship

Praise and worship go hand in hand and it’s all done for God's glory!

When you have a Heart of Worship, Praise comes naturally so let’s see about Worship

Here are my thoughts about Worship

Bible says in John 4:23 says, “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks”, therefore, I seek to be a true worshiper of God Almighty, the God of the Bible.

I guess now you all are wondering about True Worshipers??

If I question you what worship is I’m pretty sure that most of us will answer that Worship is nothing about Singing about God, honoring him through Music

But that’s just a Bird’s Eye View

Worship is not only associated with singing but how we live our life everyday is also a form of worship

WORSHIP IS A LIFE STYLE

When we reflect Christ in our life by loving and serving others and honoring and glorifying God, then we are truly worshiping Him.

Worshiping God is as natural as breathing.

• Worship is more than just music. If worship is just music, then what about all those people who can't sing well or play music?

For instance when I sing I don’t sing perfect many complain to me that I missed the tune or I don’t sing well and I just make noise

ha ha ha  but what matters is even though I make noise God still loves me

And the bible says that God - He loves 'joyful noise' and all the varieties it comes in. (Psalm 100:1)

• Worship is not a style. The music style you prefer should not say more about you but rather it should say more about God.

Worship is not just for your benefit, but for God's.

We don't worship to please ourselves.  We Worship to exalt God in whatever we do.

• Finally, worship should not be confined to church as 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, so whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God

The secret of worship is in doing everything 'as unto the Lord'.

The Bible says, '...because of God's great mercy to us I appeal to you: Offer yourselves as...dedicated to His service and pleasing to Him...' (Romans 12:1 GNT)

That's what it means to worship!"

Worship can be done with a group of people, or by ourselves. We can worship God in church, in the garden, while we’re shopping or in the shower.

Location doesn’t matter or how many people are involved.

But the secret is that when we come before the Lord with a pure and repentant heart, He will bless us with His grace and mercy.

To worship in truth we must have purity of heart just submit to his will and be speechless in His presence and allow Him to speak to us

True worship is not about us but it's all about God.

When the devil tried to tempt Jesus in Matthew 4:10, Jesus rebuked him and said, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”

If we choose to worship false gods, God’s word says in Jonah 2:8 “Those who worship false gods turn their backs on all God’s mercies.”

I certainly don't want to live my life without God’s mercy!

God is holy, righteous, and a loving Father, and He is worthy of our praise and worship.

So all of us are Worship leaders J just sing praise and enjoy your blessed life

Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs ----- (Psalm 66:4)
